Erik ten Hag saw a major shake-up to his United coaching staff, with Ruud van Nistelrooyand Rene Hake becoming his assistant managers at the Red Devils.
Van Nistelrooy spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign out of management after he left PSV Eindhoven before the end of the 2022-23 season.
The United legend’s management spell at PSV Eindhoven saw him lift the Dutch Cup, but he stepped down from his duties over differences with the club’s hierarchy.
Van Nistelrooy, who was a fan favourite when he was a United player, was linked with a return to management before he took up his role under Ten Hag.
Van Nistelrooy and Man Utd star
Manchester United have won only one Premier League match this season, with the Red Devils suffering back-to-back defeats before the September international break.
The Red Devils defeated Fulham 1-0 at Old Trafford in their opening match of the Premier League season before Brighton inflicted a 2-1 defeat at the Amex.
Erik ten Hag’s men suffered a further setback against Premier League rivals Liverpool, with Arne Slot’s side comfortably securing all three points.
Joshua Zirkzee made his first Premier League start for United since his summer move from Serie A side Bologna in a deal worth £36.54m.
The 23-year-old Netherlands striker made an instant impact on his debut against Fulham after he came off the bench and broke the deadlock late in the second half.
